Maserati North America Is The Number One Premium Brand In Year-Over-Year Sales For January 2017

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Feb. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Maserati North America today announced its January 2017 sales results, solidifying the luxury Italian automaker as the number one premium brand for year-over-year sales in the United States with an increase of 69.3 percent for January, compared with the same month in 2016. Maserati sold 889 units last month in the United States, up from 525 units in January of 2016.

The January sales record for Maserati was due in part to the release of the brand's first-ever SUV, the highly-anticipated Levante, as well as the delivery of updated Quattroporte and Ghibli models.

Maserati North America's strong start to the new year will continue with a presence at both the upcoming Chicago Auto Show and Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto. Maserati's Levante SUV will be on public display at both events.

The Levante represents a new chapter in Maserati's iconic history. With more than one hundred years of automotive excellence behind it, Maserati has introduced its first SUV to represent the house of the Trident's core values with a sport utility vehicle that is truly the 'opposite of ordinary.' The Levante is unique blend of design, exclusivity and performance – a genuine Maserati first and foremost. Expected to shift one's perception and ignite the senses, the Levante is 100 percent Maserati and 100 percent SUV. A genuine 'Made in Italy' product, the new Levante is produced at the Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy.
